An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling, Third Edition serves as the foundation for a one-semester course in stochastic processes for students familiar with elementary probability theory andcalculus. It bridges the gap between basic probability know-how and an intermediate level course in stochastic processes. The objectives of the book are to introduce students to the standard conceptsand methods of stochastic modeling, to illustrate the rich diversity of applications of stochastic processes in the applied sciences, and to provide exercises in the application of simple stochastic analysis to realistic problems.Bridging the gap between basic probability knowledge and an intermediate level course, this work is intended as a foundation for a one-semester course in stochastic processes for students familiar with elementary probability theory and calculus.
